Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm
|
DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

ddrfr33k: Has anything Tim Schafer ever made been of crap caliber? I'm struggling to think of one...02/10/2012 - 7:37pm

Guamish: I think it is in good hands. Tim did a game for the GDC award show and that was fun for how short it was.02/10/2012 - 12:22pm

Andrew Eisen: It'll be tragic if the game ultimately sucks.02/10/2012 - 12:17pm

It will all die down by next week. No one will care by then as they will have moved on to the next sensationalist item.

If you don't want your kids to have it....DON"T GET IT FOR THEM.
Simple I know, but common sense seems to be severely lacking with these "watchdog" extremist groups and ratings hungry news types.
i hope when the next really violent horror movie comes out, the media urge parents to take a second look before taking their kids to see it.
Haven't heard a thing here in Europe either.
The Nintendo Wii has Parental Controls. The parent has the ability to block out the game.
Agreed =)
@ rdeegvainl
Correct. I guess it might teach someone to kill with throwing knives or something...
All I really see wrong with it is that it's more likely to cause Wiimote-through-the-screen incidents =)
Is that a jab at the reported flying Wiimotes? :)

Most parents aren't going to care about the parental controls. Sadly a lot of parents won't even give a damn about what thier kids got some grown ups to buy for them. And sadly it isnt the games fault for bad kids upbringing, it's the parents.
Anyway, this report was pretty fair and straight forward....though I wish they didnt go straight to the parents for questions. And the mother talking baout not letting her 17-year old buy the game..hahaha. Otherwise, they put it on the button, Manhunt 2 is a crappy game (from the reviews I read, and the only thing people will find interesting about is the violence.
For a good violent game, buy Dementium for the DS.
Just because it has motion controls doesn't mean they accurately recreate the actual motions. Which I don't need a game to teach me, by the way, I am fully aware of how to stab someone without Manhunt 2.
For our friends in the "moral majority:"
Your ficticious and backwards moral creed holds no influence over myself and others who reject your superstition. We see nothing immorral, hurtful, or wrong with interactive graphical depictions of violence and sex. These depictions do not harm anyone.
Please, capitalise Gestapo. Or, better yet, replace it with the Waffen SS.
